Hi, my name is Mork, created by Ryan. What does discovering mean to me? In my picture, I am looking at a boat. It was far away, so I used a telescope. There was gold on it. Discovering is fun.

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult is an important weapon that shoots heavy objects. How does a catapult get its energy? A catapult gets its energy from ropes and soldiers. What types of materials do you think you’ll be using for the different parts of your catapult? You’ll need pop sticks, rubber bands, a cap, rope, wheel, and spoon.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
